First, my thanks to those folks who are providing us with such a great forum and service. This is a great learning place.
Now, to my question: I recently was given an old Sony CCD-V8AF Camcorder which seems to be working ok, but I have no manual or instructions on it. I would like to connect it to my regular VHS VCR, but I do not see any Video/Audio output jack on the camcorder. The only output jack I see is a multipin jack named REMOTE. Is this the A/V jack?
If any of you folks have an instructions manual on this unit or can help me connect it to my VHS-VCR, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks -- Jaymes

James, If you contact me on mcginnmatthew @hotmail.com I can let you have the RFU-85 adapter that you need. I saved it from a dead Sony CCD-V8AF camcorder but have no use for it now. Regards, Matt

Jaymes, If you look at the underside of the camera you will notice a sliding cover. This is where you need to plug in the Sony RFU adaptor, model no. RFU-85. The adaptor has line and RFU output connections. Finding the adaptor may be the hard part, though.... Best regards, Wim

well i just got one of these camcorders. That jack you talked about is for a remote only. There should be a little box that plugs in under the camera, it's for video in/out.

Can I shoot still pictures with my Sony CCD-V8AF Camcorder? I have the manual but it's kinda unclear. -- Jim
Editor's Note: You can always use a video capture device such as the Snappy (made by the now defunct Play Inc.) to capture high quality still images from video tape.
